Advice on sore corners of the mouth needed

[Guest guest]

HI

I have started to get soreness in the corners of the mouth. At one time it was

diagnosed as a yeast infection, but it could be due to a vitamin deficiency. Any

ideas on which deficiency might be the cause in thyroid patients would be of

help.

Having ruled out the Gentle Iron as a cause of my rash I could now resume taking

that, but across the Internet vitamin B12 and B6 have been said to be a cause if

deficient. I have just started the B12.

They are not coldsores.

You can't spread a virus if you don't have a virus.

 Just a word of caution incase you did not already know. Zovirax is a specific Anti Viral treatment and cold sores are Viruses. I don't know how it affects other sores that are not viruses but if you have used it to treat a cold sore you could pass the virus onto a non cold sore area if you are using the same tube...

Cream (moisturising) is going to keep the area from getting too dry and cracking where infections can come in and turn to ulcers.    Nothing to do with curing it.    In fact I do not think there is a cure.

Mine are not coldsores either, but the Zovirax is a great relief. I can't help you with the cause though. I haven't been able to establish a pattern about when or why they appear.

What I said was, if you have used it on a cold sore (which is caused by a virus)

then you can spread it onto a non virally infected area (an ordinary sore) This

is a message to others not just yourself as I don't know your circumstances but

have to post generally.

These mouth sores are normally caused by lack of B vitamins. B12 is a catalyst

that helps Iron to get utilized in the blood, without enough B12 you get

anaemic. Hence Iron deficiency Anaemia...I digress...

Hi Kathleen, don't know if this is any help to you, but i was Folic Acid

deficient,this caused me to have a sore mouth and tounge and lots of mouth

ulcers.You could ask the doctor for the blood test to see if that is the

problem.When the Dr found out i had Folic Acid deficiency he asked if i had had

any problems with my mouth so it must be a common symptom.Helen

To my knowledge I always thought this was a sign of anaemia

I have a little pot of lip balm into which I mix a couple of drops of Citricidal

grapefruit seed oil(anti bacterial), as I presumed it was caused by candida.

This works a treat for me.
